THE EH BEAST

Cabarete's windy 2006 (250 day +) brought us a new kite. I mellowed out the Ripper by giving The Beast a lower aspect ratio and a deeper profile. This gives the Beast better low wind pull while the advanced alignment allows a huge wind range.

The low AR plus the extra profile make the kite a powerhouse. This combination gives the kite an incredible lift resulting in increased hangtime and inrcedibly soft landings.

The Beast is a low AR Bow kite has good low end grunt that will forgive most common pilot errors, it has a huge range plus, 10 to 15 knot gusts are no problem. Its smooth gradual depower gives you the feeling of total control.

No need to swing the kite up and down to control its power just park it in the window and ride. The perfect kite to learn your new age tricks and how to realy fly.

The kite comes in 15-12-10-8-5.5-4M .

Construction:
The Beast is build to outlast its competition, the kite is cut with the EH panel cut, for profile stability and long life. All fabrics and materials used are the best value for your money and used in a manner to get the most performance out of them.
All EH designs are extensively tested for 6 months by some of the most demanding riders in Cabarete.
We spend our money in development of our kites NOT in marketing... Glory rules our drive not money.


The Beast uses the same simple swiveling bar as Ripper



The new generation of bow/SLE is here - Total de power, no bar pressure, superior performance with easy and safe self launching and landing. The Ripper is progressive kite design for ultimate control. A simple bar set up with no pulleys for direct kite control and de power. EH Ripper is kite design ahead of the times, from the source.

EH Kiteboarding recently got a lot of attention to their Bow-project: RipEHr the second generation bow kite.

"In the early stages of EH kiteboarding Bow kite development, I said that I did NOT believe in this concept, but we are prototyping some Bow designs to find out if we can design one with gradual de-power, speed up the turning and give it some much needed lift."
ERIC

What does the next generation bow offer?

Complete de power, no bar pressure, and advanced performance. The EH Rippehr takes design to the next level.


Windrange:

Kite Low end Highs
8 Ripper 17 kts 35+ kts
10m Ripper 15 kts 30+ kts
12 Ripper 13 kts 25+ kts
14 Ripper 11 kts 20+ kts
Note: These kites have a huge windrange, going out in high windspeeds may be dangerous!

The RippEHr

Who said that we need to wait for future generation bow type kites.. so we can do freestyle or get huge air... The Rippehr is getting the reputation of a bow kite for the animal in us, there is nothing you can do on a normal C shape that you can not do better on a Rippehr… a bold statement.. but proven to be true…
The advanced riders rave about it, the not so eperienced riders battle the first days and then see the light, the beginners balk at its speed and generally are intimidated. Not to worry we have been hard at work on a low AR bow type kite that is so easy to use that grandpa might even feel like going for a spin. More on that later.

Cabarete has been blessed with an awesome summer, we have been kiting in killer conditions for a months now and most riders are worn out, myself included. So I;m taking a week off to update the Cabarete Airforce and shoot some videos of our EH kids that now are all converted to the Rippehr.

Here are some of the latest videos, I compressed them as much that I could.


The EH Wave

A Medium Aspect Ratio kite, equals control to power. This kite is a versatile kite, its track record proven with the un-hooked crowd but at the same time a great alround kite for most riders. The EH Wave contains all the latest feedback from riders that spend their lives in the water have helped us test and develop this kite.

The EH Wave is produced in small numbers to keep the technical design up-to-date. Expect stable controllable power anywhere in the wind window with easy and quick re-launch. This medium AR kite has the sheet ability to position and depower so effective that you can adapt your speed perfectly to the wave. This Kite also performs outstanding for powered fast flat water moves. Smaller kites are impressively fast and powerful. Perfect for the former wakeboarder.
